but my sense is that john boehner would like to fight these issues just on economics. he doesn't want to deal with the social stuff. he views that as baggage. if boehner had his way we would be fighting just over taxes. he thinks he has the upper hand on that one. >> but they're still wedded to supply-side economics. it's just as a nutty idea as creationism. it's just a different context. every reputable economist will tell that you it doesn't work but they cannot breakaway. boehner seems to be trying a little bit but i don't buy this whole thing of closing the loopholes and having the upper 1% sacrifice a little buttnier money is moving us closer to equity. but i think boehner is nudging closer on that issue. >> eliot: i don't know that he equates supply side with creationism. i think supply side is nutty and creationism is three steps beyond it. the democratic party scored a huge win. the senate races were a huge win. but it seems to me there is not a coherent narrative coming out of the white house, and they came out and spoke on same sex issues, the healthcare act,

john boehner is signaling what he wants is to get an agreement that all the spending and all of the bush tax cuts will simply continue on after january 1st. >> eliot: i hate to sound like a broken record, but i completely agree with you. the president gains strength by waiting. i've written this. you've written this. the bush tax cuts expire of their own accord and the president is sitting there with a tax increase on the middle class but then he turns to the republicans and says lower tax taxes, and how can they vote against that. there were twin scourges that were predictedded by the deficit hawks. one, we would have rampant inflation if we had continued deficit spending, and the other that interest rates would necessarily skyrocket. neither has happened. >> quite the opposite. the yield on a ten-year treasury is below 2%. the dollar is basically a safe harbor for global sabers the united states and elsewhere because a lot of other places around the world are much more uncertain than the united states. so it is possible for the treasury to borrow at rock-bottom rates right now. there i

it's john roberts agenda and it has not yet succeeded. it may never succeed but it is an agenda to change many of the important residents at the supreme court and that's why roberts is the candidate of change. and obama is saying leave things the way they are. >> eliot: you're saying as a matter of constitutional doctrine, row versus wade, on and on, the president said we're happy where things are. >> that's right. and you see the lack of relative discussion on these issues. george w. bush, whatever you think of him paid attention to constitutional issues. he didn't want judges who legislated to the bench. he held high profile ceremony on primary time to nominate his first group of judges. you never hear any that have from barack obama because it's not a priority. >> eliot: where does that leave us? take the gun case and the heller case which was viewed as an expansesive interpretation of the second amendment. who won-- >> no, barack obama--this is the thing, the democratic party made a decision. chuck schumer has even talked about this,
